Roasted Butternut Squash, Garlic, and Apple Soup Recipe
In this roasted butternut squash, garlic, and apple soup recipe, butternut squash, sweet potato, carrot, and garlic are roasted in large pieces and added to onion, celery, apple, and vegetable broth. An immersion blender thickens without adding fat. If you prefer more savory flavors to spicy ones, use curry powder instead of cayenne pepper. You can use apple juice in place of cider, and chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
